The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention Debates 《反联邦党人文集及制宪会议辩论集》是Signet Classics推出的简装便携全英文版原著,由Ralph Ketcham主编,并作序。
THE BIRTH OF THE CONSTITUTION
The Federalist Papers defended the Constitution and its strong central government. The anti-Federalist Papers represented the dissenting opinions of such statesmen as Patrick Henry and Melancton Smith, who saw threats in the Constitution to the rights and liberties so recently won from England. Although the Anti-Federalists lost, they came close to winning, and their opinions represent an important contribution to the American political tradition. 
This volume includes the key text of The Anti-Federalist Papers and the Constitutional Convention debates, commentaries, and an Index of Ideas. It also lists cross-references to its companion volume, The Federalist Papers, available in a Signet Classics edition. 
Edited and with an Introduction by Ralph Ketcham

精彩书摘
    I have been honoured with your letter of the 31 of March, and find with much pleasure that your views of the reform which ought to be pursued by the Convention, give a sanction to those which I have entertained. Temporising applications will dishonor the Councils which propose them, and may foment the internal malignity of the disease, at the same time that they produce an ostensible palliation of it. Radical attempts, although unsuccessful, will at least justify the authors of them. 
    Having been lately led to revolve the subject which is to undergo the discussion of the Convention, and formed in my mind some outlines of a new system, I take the liberty of submitting them without apology to your eye. 
    Conceiving that an individual independence of the States is utterly irreconcilable with their aggregate sovereignty, and that a consolidation of the whole into one simple republic would be as inexpedient as it is unattainable. I have sought for some middle ground, which may at once support a due supremacy of the national authority, and not exclude the local authorities wherever they can be subordinately useful. 
    I would propose as the ground-work that a change be made in the principle of representation According to the present form of the Union in which the intervention of the States is in all great cases necessary to effectuate the measures of Congress, an equality of suffrage does not destroy the inequality of importance in the several members. No one will deny that Virginia and Massachusetts have more weight and influence both within and without Congress than Delaware or Rhode Island. Under a system which would operate in many essential points without the intervention of the State Legislatures, the ease would be materially altered. A vote in the national Councils from Delaware would then have the same effect and value as one from the largest State in the Union. I am ready to believe that such a change will not be attended with much difficulty. A majority of the States, and those of greatest influence, will regard it as favorable to them. To the Northern States it will be recommended by their present populousness; to the Southern by their expected advantage in this respect. The lesser States must in every event yield to the predominant will. But the consideration which particularly urges a change in the representation is that it will obviate the principal objections of the larger States to the necessary concessions of power.


《美国宪法辩论:从起草到批准》 本书深入探讨了美国建国初期最具决定性的政治哲学与实践博弈——制宪会议的辩论及其后续的批准过程。这不是对某一特定文献的简单汇编,而是一部宏大的历史叙事,描绘了18世纪末期,一群拥有不同愿景的政治家们如何艰难地构建一个全新的共和国。 第一部分:联邦主义的曙光——旧邦联的困境与制宪会议的召开 本书伊始,我们将回顾1780年代的美国。独立战争的胜利并未带来长久的稳定。在《邦联条例》的框架下,中央政府的软弱无力,经济萧条,州际间的贸易摩擦与政治纷争日益加剧。这种“无政府”状态促使一批有识之士,包括詹姆斯·麦迪逊、亚历山大·汉密尔顿以及后来的乔治·华盛顿,意识到必须进行一次彻底的政治重构。 本部分详尽分析了促使1787年费城制宪会议召开的深层原因。我们考察了谢司起义等事件对精英阶层心理的影响,并剖析了早期政治思想家对理想政府形态的初步设想。会议的召开本身就是一个充满争议和不确定性的事件,它挑战了人民主权的传统观念,并引发了关于国家权力界限的首次大规模辩论。 第二部分:费城会议的交锋——大型州与小型州、奴隶制与自由的较量 制宪会议(Constitutional Convention)的内部冲突是本书的核心内容。与会代表们并非铁板一块,而是代表着不同地域、经济利益和意识形态的派系。本书细致重现了几个关键议题上的激烈交锋: 代表权问题: 弗吉尼亚方案(以人口为基础)与新泽西方案(州权平等)之间的矛盾几乎导致了会议的破裂。我们探讨了康涅狄格妥协(大妥协)是如何在参议院与众议院的设置中,暂时性地平息了州际间的紧张关系,以及这一妥协对美国政治结构产生的深远影响。 中央集权与州权的分野: 汉密尔顿主张建立一个强有力的、近乎君主制的中央政府,而托马斯·杰斐逊(虽未全程参与)及其同情者则对任何形式的过度集权保持警惕。本书展示了权力制衡原则(Checks and Balances)是如何在三权分立的框架下被精心设计,以防止任何一分支的专权。 奴隶制问题: 这是一个最难处理、最能暴露建国者虚伪性的议题。书中深入分析了“五分之三妥协”的政治动机与道德代价,以及它如何成为南方州在国会中获得政治影响力的关键。我们考察了这种妥协是如何将一个潜伏的危机深深植入宪法结构之中,为后来的内战埋下伏笔。 第三部分:宪法的诞生与“密室政治” 本书不仅关注公开的辩论,更揭示了幕后的妥协与“密室政治”。我们探讨了麦迪逊如何在坚持记录会议进程的同时,巧妙地引导议程,确保最终文本能够获得足够的支持。宪法的起草过程,远非一场纯粹的哲学思辨,而是实用主义、机会主义和远见的混合体。最终文本的每一个条款——从总统的选举方式到宪法修正案的程序——都是无数次拉锯战的结果。 第四部分:批准之战的爆发——《联邦主义者文集》之外的舆论战 当《费城文件》提交给各州批准时,一场全国性的政治战役随之爆发。本书将目光投向了更广阔的公众领域,分析了支持新宪法的联邦党人(Federalists)和反对者之间的宣传战。 我们详细考察了反对派(Anti-Federalists)提出的核心论点:对权力过于集中的担忧、缺乏明确的权利保障、以及一个大共和国无法有效治理的传统观念。虽然《联邦主义者文集》是支持宪法最著名的辩护词,但本书同时梳理了那些在州议会和报刊上发声,要求限制政府权力的重要声音。这些反对者的批评,如对“常备军”的恐惧和对个人自由的强调,直接推动了后来的《权利法案》的纳入。 第五部分:权利的补遗——《权利法案》的形成与对个人自由的承诺 本书的最后部分聚焦于《权利法案》(Bill of Rights)的制定过程。这一过程是制宪会议妥协的必然结果,也是对广泛的民众和州级反对声音的回应。我们分析了前十条修正案是如何从众多州级提案中筛选、整合并最终通过的。本书阐释了第一修正案(言论、宗教自由)和第五修正案(正当程序)等关键条款在当时语境下的具体含义,以及它们如何构筑了美国公民权利的基石。 结论:一个未完成的实验 《美国宪法辩论:从起草到批准》旨在向读者呈现,美国宪法不是神启的产物,而是一系列充满争议、反复推敲和艰难妥协的产物。它既是政治智慧的结晶,也带有历史局限性的烙印。通过对这段历史的深入剖析,读者将能更深刻地理解美国政治体制的内在张力、权力分配的微妙平衡,以及这场建国辩论至今仍在影响着美国的政治现实。本书提供了一个全面的视角,超越了单一的文件分析,重现了美国历史上最关键的民主构建时刻。

用户评价

评分

如果要用一个词来形容阅读《反联邦党人文集及制宪会议辩论集》的感受,那一定是“颠覆性”。我们从小接受的教育往往将联邦党的胜利描绘成历史的必然,是进步的象征。然而,这本合集将我们拉回了那个关键的、充满不确定性的时刻,让我们看到,胜利者并非总能代表所有人的心声。其中几位作者对“美德”与“商业利益”在政府中作用的讨论,至今仍是理解政治经济学冲突的核心。他们的担忧,比如精英阶层可能通过中央集权来压制地方民主,是如此的尖锐,以至于读后让你不禁反思,我们现在所处的体制,是否在不经意间,实现了反联邦党人曾经极力反对的某些结果。这是一部充满挑战性但回报丰厚的阅读体验,它要求你放下预设的观点,重新审视政治权力的本质。

评分

从一个纯粹的阅读爱好者角度来看,这本《反联邦党人文集》的编排和选材展现了编辑团队的专业水准。它没有仅仅停留在那些最知名的批评家身上,而是挖掘了许多地方性报纸和私人信函中同样重要的声音。这种广度使得我们能够更全面地理解,反对联邦主义并非铁板一块,内部也存在着地域和阶层上的分歧。阅读这些不同声音的交锋,让我深刻体会到,一个伟大的国家不是一蹴而就的,而是无数次艰难妥协和激烈辩论的产物。书中那些关于“代表性不足”和“中央权力过大”的论断,即便在信息爆炸的现代社会,依然像警钟一样敲打着我们对现代治理结构的审视。我特别喜欢其中一些篇章中那种朴素的、对普通民众福祉的深切关怀,这使得冷硬的政治辩论多了一份人性的温度。

读完这本厚厚的《反联邦党人文集及制宪会议辩论集》英文版,我感觉自己就像是穿越回了18世纪末的美国费城,亲身参与了那场决定国家命运的激烈辩论。这本书的体量本身就足够让人望而生畏,但一旦沉下心来翻阅,你会发现其中蕴含的智慧和洞察力是多么的深刻。它不仅仅是一堆历史文献的堆砌,更像是一幅全景式的政治画卷,展示了那个时代不同思想流派的碰撞与交锋。作者们对于权力制衡、公民自由以及政府结构的担忧,在今天看来依然具有极强的现实意义。我尤其欣赏其中几位反联邦党人的文风,他们用犀利且极富逻辑性的笔触,对新宪法中潜在的集权风险进行了无情的剖析。那些关于“权利法案”的呼吁,至今仍是理解美国宪政精神不可或缺的基石。阅读过程虽然需要耐心,但每一次深入的解读,都像是在揭开一层又一层的历史迷雾,让我对美国建国的复杂性和艰巨性有了更深层次的理解。

评分

这本书的阅读体验,坦白说,更像是在啃一本需要细嚼慢咽的学术著作,而非轻松的小说。它汇集了那个时期众多反对联邦主义者的关键论述,文字风格迥异,从激昂的檄文到严谨的法律分析,应有尽有。我花了很长时间才适应其中某些作者那种略显晦涩、充满古典修辞的表达方式。然而,一旦捕捉到他们论证的核心逻辑,那种智力上的满足感是无与伦比的。这本书的价值在于,它完整地呈现了“被否决的选项”,让我们看到了一个理论上可以存在的不同美国。它迫使读者去思考:如果反联邦党人的担忧最终被采纳,今天的美国会是什么样子?这种对历史“岔路口”的探究,极大地丰富了我对政治哲学中“效率”与“自由”之间永恒张力的理解。对于任何希望深入了解美国宪政起源的严肃读者来说,这套文集是案头必备的参考书。

评分

坦白讲,初次接触这本书时,我差点被其庞杂的篇幅和相对枯燥的排版劝退。它缺乏现代出版物那种诱人的视觉设计,完全依赖文本的力量。但坚持读下去后,我发现其魅力恰恰在于这种不加修饰的原始性。这些文献保留了那个时代最真实、最未经美化的政治辩论状态。读到那些针对新宪法中“静默条款”或“必要与适当条款”的细致入微的质疑时,我感到非常震撼——这些早期的政治家们对潜在的法律漏洞的敏感度,远远超出了我的想象。他们关注的不是宏大的叙事,而是每一个措辞背后可能对未来数代人自由构成的威胁。这本书提供了一个绝佳的机会,去观察一代人如何在一个权力真空期,用文字作为唯一的武器,去捍卫他们对共和理想的理解。
